THIS WEEK AT MLAJA:


Grades 9-10:  Bible this week has continued our study of Paul, Barnabas, and the early Apostles.  Biology students had a test over animal behavior and the students begin teaching a chapter on "organ systems".  Direct and inverse variation is a new concept that the Algebra students learned this week.  Geometry students finished their study of volumes and polyhedrons.  —Mr. Chinnock

Language Arts:  Pronouns, expository paragraphs, poetry, essays, reading, Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Julius Caesar...it's all happening in the 7-10 English classes.  The students in yearbook are working hard on projects (each student chose one out of three possibilities) that they need to finish in the next two weeks.  It's countdown time:  10, 9, 8, 7, 6, ...   —Mrs. Villeda

Grades 7-8: Our class has been busy with a myriad of activities thanks to a full week of school. They enjoyed art class on Wednesday afternoon and again this afternoon, thanks to Shona Macomber. It is great fun to see the creativity the students bring to their projects. The 7th grade students are amazed at all the projects the 8th grade students are working on in preparation for graduation. The 8th graders are also finishing up some projects related to Catalina. All the students are preparing for a history test on Chapter 19 next Wednesday as well as a math test next week.  —Mr. Carle

Grades 5-6:  We had an exciting time at outdoor school at Leoni Meadows.  Here are some of the activities and events the students would like to share.  —Mrs. Garcia
•    We saw lizards, including a baby blue-bellied lizard, and skinks and a giant beetle.
•    We had fun doing the Leap of Faith, which was jumping from a 35 ft. platform wearing a harness attached to a rope.
•    We worked as a team with another school group to pull a giant log, using a rope.
•    We got to see a perchron horse (a really big draft horse).
•    Our class played a game together and saved a nuclear reactor.
•    We practiced archery and everyone in our group hit the paper.
•    Our class did a song and a play for the other school groups, and our play was the best!
•    We made a lot of new friends.

Grades 3-4:  We are busy wrapping up our school year.  I asked the fourth graders their favorite part of the school year (look for third graders in another Nugget).
•    Just going to school  - Dalton
•    Week of Prayer - Kristin
•    Multiplication Party - Juliette
•    Making new friends - Brandie
